Definitely get some different wheels. Those are really fugly. Everything else seems to look nice; the ghost flames on the hood don't go with anything though.

If you ever want to do a forced induction setup on that car, you should really convert to EFI if it isn't already.

i think its a carb...i will have to check in the morning...if not i believe its as simple as an intake swap...i could be wrong on that though...


or if its injected just leave it...all the wiring and cpu is there of course..

wheels came on the car when i bought it, if i did the conversion i would deff put a bigger tire on the rear with some more meat.

as for the towncar, yeah i was jus wondering, either way it would work good. jus gotta get my hands on some cashhhh, either way wit the 351 or 302

whats the horsepower on the two of em? tryin to weigh the work for the output. might not be worth the work for the 351 if the power isnt that much more.
